Inclusive Recruitment

Change. Attract. Innovate.

Our unique focus within the investments industry has led to the development of our in-house inclusive recruitment centre of excellence. This is designed to challenge traditional recruitment processes and present the case for diverse hiring.

Our roadmap to inclusive hiring.

Our candidate attraction strategy features a range of tools and science, as we combine both inclusive and diverse candidate attraction methods in order to source the best talent from across a wide variety of backgrounds.

We understand the impact of unconscious bias at each stage of the recruitment process and focus on removing barriers for candidates and supporting our clients through this change. This ensures that we’re able to attract a diverse range of candidates for every opportunity and present a short list which is both balanced and diverse.
